*sigh* nothing in the scenario you present implies that dragons would be the reason for Charlie's sexuality or that his a sexuality is responsible for his interest in dragons, and if that's the way you interpret it, that's your problem.

And when asexual are still struggling to be seen at all, let alone to be seen positively, I'm more than willing to let the trope of "a sexuals have more time for other interests" slide.

DA

This, completely.

But from the internet the only thing that Asexuals have time for is telling people that asexuals exist.

Time better spent studying dragons.

I see your point but the quote the OP was referring to doesn't come of as "asexuals have more time for other interests" to me. It comes off as "Charlie isn't shown to be dating but he has interests, so therefore he's asexual yayyyy!" The logic isn't there. It implies that people who are more interested in pursuing hobbies/career than dating = asexual, and also makes the reverse implication that asexuals = people who are too busy to have relationships. Neither of those premises make any sense to me.

I guess this is just one of those instances where different people read different things into text.
